Fantastic Voyage, 2011, by London-based street artist Slinkachu who creates installations in finely-detailed miniature using litter and cut up train set figures less than 4cm tall. "It is a strange kind of buzz abandoning your creations on the street," he says

Slinkachu’s Chicken Tikka Disasta, 2010, east London. The artists says his work reflects the universal feeling "of being ignored and overlooked, of feeling small. It is as easy for us to fall through the cracks in the pavement as it is for these little people"

Another Public Swimming Pool, 2010, Isaac Cordal. Cordal is realistic about the likelihood of his work getting damaged or stolen, although he says "street art is for everyone. I don't leave them on the street for people to take"

Cordal’s Lovers, 2010, Hackney. Given the ephemeral nature of his work, photography is key to Cordal's practice. "I can create more complex compositions, like a form of reportage. I can create a small drama"
